Collaborations
The Nicholson Center is keen to collaborate with scholars in all disciplines, locally and internationally, whose work impacts on the broad field of British Studies. Here are some of our current and recent collaborations.
Postcolonial Print Cultures
The Nicholson Center is delighted to join Postcolonial Print Cultures, an international network of scholars researching postcolonial print cultures. We look forward to developing this collaboration.
Schaffner Distinguished Visiting Professors
The Nicholson Cente hosts distinguished international scholars appointed to Schaffner Visiting Professorship. As part of their appointment, the invited scholars lead a series of seminars and give a public lecture.
The British Studies Seminar
The British Studies Seminar brings together scholars to discuss work that addresses the history of Britain and the British Empire from the early modern period to present day. The seminar is co-sponsored by the Nicholson Center for British Studies at the University of Chicago, and the Graduate Cluster in British Studies at Northwestern, and Northwestern History.
The Folger Consortium
The Folger Institute was founded in 1970 as a unique collaborative endeavor of the Folger Shakespeare Library and two Washington-area universities. In the succeeding years, its horizon has expanded from the local to the regional to the international, and the consortium now numbers 41 colleges and universities, including the University of Chicago. With support from such agencies as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute offers seminars, conferences, and colloquia in fields represented in the Folger Library collections.
